TVC reports that she emphasized that the focus should not only be on the elections but the entire process leading up to voting.

According to her, the APC is concerned with the entire process including the smallest details during the exercise which even include such areas as reconfiguration and recharging of the smart card readers.

Oshiomhole made the allegation in a statement issued after the party’s caucus meeting held at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Monday, February 18.

He urged that electoral commission to address the allegations made about the inclusion of PDP members as presiding officers to ensure fairness and credibility of the electoral process.

“We observed that the list of presiding officers in the states and local government areas published by INEC prior to the aborted February 16, elections contained names of mostly PDP card carrying members and urged INEC to take steps to correct this anomaly to ensure fairness and credibility of the electoral process," Oshiomhole said.

It also reported that the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, recently accused the APC of planning to use the military to intimidate voters in order to pave the way for rigging during the general elections.
